Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] KVM: Fetch guest cr3 from hardware on demand
Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2010 15:46:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1292852772-24247-3-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1292852772-24247-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com>
Instead of syncing the guest cr3 every exit, which is expensince on vmx
with ept enabled, sync it only on demand.
